Hello,
My name is Emma. A friend gave me a copy of His Robe or Mine. I want to tell
you, this book is changing my life. The earliest I can remember it
happening is the age of 3. My father sexually abused me from the time I was
3-years old till I was about 15-years old. I became pregnant. It was
my fathers. I did not go full
term with the baby; I miscarried. I believe I was around the age of 15.
I was also raped by one of my brothers at the age of 7.
Why am I telling you this? Well, I have fought all my
life to feel and act, what I thought was normal. I was just an emotional wreck,
and I could not control anything in my life. I had no say in anything and felt I
had to do whatever a man would ask or demand of me. I never knew I had a WILL.
I never knew I had a choice in anything. That is what incest and lack of
spiritual knowledge does to you.
When a very good friend of mine gave me this book called His
Robe or Mine, my life started changing in ways I never knew were even possible
for me. When I read the chapter on the WILL, I was absolutely amazed!! My heart
for the first time in my life realized the plan of salvation and that God in His
Wondrous Love sent His son down to Earth to fight for my WILL. He fought so hard
for me and my right to have my WILL that He ended up dying on a cross. He won
His battle with Satan and sin and won back my WILL. Now that is, in and of
itself, a great love that I have never known. But here comes the greatest love
for me. He not only fought and won back my WILL, He won it back so that HE COULD
GIVE IT BACK TO ME!!! Then He said to me, “Emma, you may now decide FOR YOURSELF
who you would like to give your WILL to”. My dear people of "Justified Walk", do
you have any idea what this understanding
has done for an abused person? Me? A person who has been abused by her father
can't relate at all to her Heavenly Father. What a struggle it has been for me
to just hang on to the concept of God much less have a relationship with Him.
FREEDOM has come to me through reading this book His Robe or
Mine, and the Holy Spirit helping me to understand. Did it happen all at once?
The understanding of my WILL was immediate, and I cried like I have never cried
before. But the decision to give my WILL to God or Satan took 3 days. I
decided to make out a list of all the characteristics of God and what He has to
offer, and all the characteristics of Satan and all he has to offer. I ended up
with 3 pages of characteristics for both. I was up 24 hrs reading my lists and
rereading them. This choice was not as easy as one might think.
For the next 2 days I was reading and rereading my lists.
Satan offers a pretty alluring list. Most of the things that were on Satan's
list were the things that I had used as comfort throughout my life. They were
all I knew, and how I handled my problems. God's list was soothing and peaceful,
but I had never known peace, so there was also fear of that and of God Himself.
What a wrestling I had between the two. I thought I would go crazy before
it was over!
On the third day, I woke up and reread my lists. At that
moment, my heart was convicted and I gave my WILL to Christ and the Father and
the Holy Spirit. What an awesome peaceful experience that was and still is in my
heart.
Has Satan tried to take it back? You bet he has and he will never give up. But I
don't have to fight him anymore. My Jesus and My Father fight him for me!!!
Praise God for His wondrous love for me and every sexually abused child.
Thank
you for this FREE book. It will lead you to the Freedom your soul cries for.
Thank you for listening to my story.

A little over a year ago my pastor came over with the cd How
Good is Perfect from Mr. Phillips. Me and my wife sat and listened to it
with him. I was so touched that I asked to borrow it. He let me keep it. I
listened to it one more time and then put it up. 2 months ago my wife and
I separated and it was devastating to me. The pastor that gave the cd to me had
gone to Armenia for mission work for the conference. I had sent him an email
telling him what had
happened with me and my wife. He called me from Armenia and we talked for an
hour about all that was going on. At the end of our conversation and prayer he
asked me if I still had that cd. I did and he told me I should listen to it.
I did, and I listened to it day and night. In my truck as I was driving
back and forth to work, at work through my computer and then when I got home I
listened to it. It was non stop.
Each time I heard it I would
learn something I didn’t get before. My prayers about me and my wife over
the course of 2 weeks went from asking God to show my wife what she was doing,
to show me what I was doing, to finally thanking Him for sending me through
this.
My whole attitude had changed about the experience, and
within a month me and my wife were back together stronger than ever. It was like
we had fallen in love all over again. God took something that Satan had started
and turned it into the most beautiful blessing ever. Just like pastor Phillips
quoted about accepting everything as coming from Christ himself.
I am so thankful that you had
started this ministry when you did, and how you made this material available.
My pastor got a hold of it and gave it to me. I believe God in His wisdom
brought it to me because He knew i would need it later, and that I would have to
have a new character to get through it over a year later. God is Awesome.
Also, I always kind of wondered how to know if you really
loved God. Through this experience, the cd, and God showing me what I needed to
know at the right time I now realize that I DO love the Lord.
God Bless the message you are putting out there. It has led me to learning so
much, and a new love for our Lord Jesus.
Thank you Bryan

I really want to thank for an special reason. A few months
ago I received a
box of books from you and something great happened. Let me tell what it is
about.
As I received 80 books, were distributed as well as I could.
Many people are
responding to the gospel thru message written in that book, as a result I as
a Pastor had baptized six people, new believers, who testify of Jesus as
their savior.
Thru this letter I recognize the wonderful work you're doing.
And let you
know the following: Please don't stop doing what you are doing because
many
people can approach to God thru your work
